Today is #EarthDay🌍
According to scientists, a ‘Planetary Boundary Framework’ is necessary to inform preventive, integrated policies to protect the #Earth & everyone's #health & wellbeing

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍
Across Europe, 80% of habitats are in poor condition, and around the world, up to one million species are at risk.
So we are launching our #ForOurPlanet campaign 2026 — and this year, it’s all about nature restoration.
Small actions. Big impact.

Ayer con @epstoa.bsky.social estuve en ASML, empresa tecnológica en 🇳🇱 clave en la industria global de semiconductores.
✅ Europa puede liderar en tecnologías críticas, pero tenemos que convertir esa excelencia empresarial en una estrategia europea estable, completa y jurídicamente robusta.
MEP @josecepeda.bsky.social who initiated the mission, said:
"Europe can't aspire to have tech sovereignty with words alone; we need to promote & fund our tech leadership, as we saw at #ASML, 1 of the world's leading companies. We must provide greater protection for our #EUresearch & tech ecosystem"
A #STOA delegation of MEPs visited #ASML in the Netherlands yesterday, a leading high-tech company producing machines essential for the manufacturing of advanced #AI #chips
With EP STOA members @josecepeda.bsky.social, Herbert Dorfmann & Vlad Voiculescu
